Naturally, I went down the hair-growth and curly hair rabbit holes 😂
I quickly discovered there’s a LOT of marketing and very few magic shampoos and approximately 7,000 opinions on what you should do with curly hair 🙈. So this is my mix of scalp c...
The scalp-health one 🧴 I use this for the ketoconazole rather than because I expect a shampoo to magically grow hair. It can be VERY drying though, so I wouldn’t treat it like my everyday shampoo. I did read that at do something to block DHT but I’m...
The shedding one. This contains Aminexil and is designed to help reduce hair loss from shedding. I like that it’s a leave-in scalp treatment rather than something you rinse away 30 seconds later.
My tip: scalp products need consistency (as I have le...
L'Oréal Paris Elvive Growth Booster Anti Hair Loss Serum
The affordable everyday scalp option. I’m interested in this more for keeping the scalp/hair in good condition and reducing hair loss from breakage than as a miracle “growth shampoo.”
Pantene Grow Abundant Anti Hair Loss Shampoo 290ml
Very £££ but amazingly hydrating
The moisture one 💦 Not everything in a hair-growth routine needs to stimulate growth! Keeping the lengths hydrated and reducing breakage matters if the goal is actually getting your hair longer and fuller-looking.

Hydrating Shampoo for Dry Hair
Such a good curly hair gel for the price 🙌.
It gives me lovely definition without making my curls feel horribly crunchy. My one warning: I have to use LOADS of it 😂 I use much more than I originally thought.
Top tip: Apply to really wet hair, s...
Curl Jelly | No.1 Bestselling Cult Favorite Curly Hair Gel
This is my ‘my hair needs HELP’ product 😂.
Especially good when my curls have taken a battering from colour or styling.
It’s not a normal moisturising mask though. It’s a leave-in treatment designed to repair damaged hair using K18’s peptide tec...
One of those products I genuinely look forward to using because the smell is SO good 😍.
I concentrate it on my scalp rather than attacking all my curls with shampoo, then let it rinse through the lengths. Gets my scalp feeling properly clean and f...
This probably tells you everything: I use this every single time I wash my hair. 😂
It’s become one of those automatic steps in my curly-hair routine. Helps give my curls the moisture and slip they need before I go in with gel, particularly on the ...
Intensive Moisture Treatment - Deep Conditioner - Bouclème
Okay, I love the Umberto Giannini gel…but I think this is better 👀.
It gives me stronger, longer-lasting definition and I don’t need to absolutely drown my hair in it 😂. I apply it to soaking-wet hair, scrunch, leave it completely alone while it ...
Super Hold Styler: Strong Hold Gel for Waves, Curls and Coils
Probably my favourite product from the Aveda curl range. This gives my curls lovely definition but keeps them feeling soft and touchable rather than stiff. I use it when I want a softer, more natural curl day rather than loads of hold. It also helps ...
be curly advanced™ curl enhancer cream
Where this wins for me is the gym. It’s a light spray, easy to throw in my gym bag and great for refreshing/prepping my curls without carrying half my bathroom around 😂.
Good product, just not my number one! I just mist it onto damp hair before s...
be curly advanced™ curl perfecting primer
This is my gel for days when I don’t want maximum hold. It gives my curls definition and helps with frizz, but they still feel soft and natural. And a big plus: it washes out really easily.
If I want my curls to last and last, I reach for Bouclème ...
be curly advanced™ coil definer gel
Started using this recently
This is one of my favourite curly-hair shampoos. It gets my hair and scalp properly clean but my curls don’t feel stripped afterwards which is the balance I want from a shampoo. It also has that gorgeous fresh Aveda smel...
be curly advanced™ shampoo
This has become one of my after-the-gym treats 😂.
If my curls are feeling a bit sweaty, dry or generally frazzled, I use this at the end of the day and my hair feels beautifully soft and conditioned afterwards.
And the SMELL 😍. That gorgeous fre...
